Ingredients

• 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 stalks (finely chopped) green onion
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 8 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
• 4 tablespoons (melted) unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped green onion, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. Mix until fully combined and creamy.

Step 3

Unroll the phyllo pastry sheets and keep them covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.

Step 4

Take one sheet of phyllo and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush it with butter as well. Repeat until you have 2 layers of 4 sheets, creating two stacks.

Step 5

Cut each stack of phyllo sheets into 4 long strips (approximately 3 inches wide). You’ll have 8 strips total.

Step 6

Place a heaping spoonful of the tuna mixture at one end of a phyllo strip. Fold the corner over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding, maintaining the triangle shape, until the strip is fully wrapped. Repeat with the remaining strips.

Step 7

Arrange the tuna triangles on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down. Brush the tops with more melted butter.

Step 8

Bake the triangles for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
